Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-213

Xuan Jingzhou looked so angry. He growled, “You are so mean! A person of integrity will not do this!”

“Am I mean?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows and said, “When did I say that I’m a person of integrity? Besides, my stratagem is above board. You drank those two pots of wine without protest, and I didn’t force you. How can you say that I’m mean?”

“… You!”

Xuan Jingzhou was too angry to speak. Su Li clapped her hands. Fang Yuan, who was waiting outside the door, immediately opened the door. Su Li said, “Invite Su Yue to come here. You can say that Xuan Jingzhou guests here but cannot afford the wine!”

Fang Yuan glanced at Xuan Jingzhou, who was very anxious and angry, and nodded. Then he left!

“Stupid old hen, don’t come here…”

Xuan Jingzhou mumbled with a heavy heart. They were set up to join in a force. They really didn’t want to be controlled by others. However, now he was here. Based on Su Yue’s temper, she must come…

Sure enough, after Fang Yuan left for a while, Su Yue carrying a kitchen knife hurriedly went in the Linli Building. When she saw that all wine tables in the lobby were clean like mirrors and that Fang Yuan standing at the entrance of the underground adytum gave her a hint of going downstairs, she finally realized that things were in a bad way.

Su Yue, who was rugged and couldn’t hide her delicate thoughts, raised her bushy eyebrows and asked, “Hey, man. Has my husband done something wrong? You can speak frankly. I’m ready to listen!”

Fang Yuan tried to be gentle and said softly, “You will know when you go downstairs. Our master is waiting for you there.”

Su Yue looked serious. She hesitated for a moment, and then followed Fang Yuan to go downstairs.

There was an underground adytum in the Linli Building. In that case, the secrets of the Zhouyue Winery…

Su Yue quietly turned the kitchen knife in her hand and aimed at Fang Yuan, who showed his back towards her. But at this moment, Fang Yuan stopped and turned around. He smiled and said, “Proprietress, please come here.”

Su Yue was not embarrassed at all. She naturally put away the kitchen knife and pushed the door which Fang Yuan pointed at.

Squeak—

Su Yue slowly opened the door. As soon as she saw the scene in the room, she immediately lifted the kitchen knife and stabbed it towards Su Li’s neck!

Fang Yuan was stunned, but it’s too late to stop her.

Su Li’s pupils shrank instantly. Her body seemed to be soft and boneless like a snake. She avoided Su Yue’s fatal blow. But she also moved away from Xuan Jingzhou.

Su Yue was happy when she saw the scene. She had never planned to kill someone. When Su Li retreated, she immediately slashed the rope on Xuan Jingzhou.

“I made it!”

“Proprietress, you are really impatient. Let’s sit down for a chat. Why do you take up arms?”

Su Li said and chuckled without any sense of anxiety. Su Yue’s heart flipped. She finally knew the reason why Su Li was so calm. It was because Xuan Jingzhou was still motionless even if the rope was loosened.

“Jingzhou?”

Su Yue was puzzled. Xuan Jingzhou patted the rope on his body and stood up with a forced smile. He said, “Yue, we are set up.”

Su Yue’s expression changed slightly. She had long felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the Linli Building invited them to drink last time on purpose, didn’t it?

Su Li patted her cyan robe, which was ripped by the knife. She laughed and said timely, “Why do you make a long face? You will profit from joining in the Linli Building. It will do you no harm.”

Su Yue snorted and inserted the kitchen knife in the pocket at her waist. She said, “People in power like blandishments best. Do you think I will believe whatever you say? If you are sensible, let us leave. As for the money of those two pots of wine… Give us some time. We will pay it back hundredfold!”

Xuan Jingzhou sighed at this moment. He could see the situation better than Su Yue. This man had planned for a long time. Since they came here of their own accord, it was impossible for Mr. Li to let them leave easily.

“Mr. Li, I just want to ask you a question. What is the relationship among Su Li, you… and the Linli Building?”

Hearing what Xuan Jingzhou said, Su Yue was stunned immediately.

This man was Mr. Li?!!

Su Li should be related to the Linli Building?!!

Su Li raised her eyebrows and asked with a deep voice, “How did you know I have a relationship with Su Li?”

Su Li’s response was tantamount to giving tacit consent to the relationship. Xuan Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly, “A few days ago, I saw you and a male beggar entering this restaurant on the night, so… Otherwise, I would not take a risk easily since I knew that the Linli Building was weird.”

The more Su Yue heard, the more she was silent. She was angry in her heart. Xuan Jingzhou should keep the matter from her!

“I see…”

The scene flashed through Su Li’s mind. On that day, Wen Tingshan attacked her suddenly. She was distracted indeed and didn’t notice that someone was on watch for them. Fortunately, only Xuan Jingzhou and his wife knew that. If others had known…

Su Li squinted and said, “Su Li indeed has a relationship with me. She developed the wine of the Linli Building. Half of the income of the Linli Building belongs to her.”

It meant that they were… friends, didn’t it?

The thought flashed through Su Yue’s mind. She no longer resisted the Linli Building too much. However, she still felt suspicious of it and didn’t dare to join in it rashly.

“After joining in the Linli Building, I will not interfere with your life. If it is not necessary, you will still be the proprietress of the Zhouyue Winery. Only if it is necessary, I will ask you to help us, and you will not be in mortal danger. Besides… you can drink the wine of the Linli Building as much as you like. It’s free…”

Su Li smiled. She added another chip. Xuan Jingzhou was so excited and almost consented readily. But Su Yue stopped him in time.

Just then, another person pushed the door and walked in without greeting anyone.

Su Li reluctantly turned around. She knew that person was Wen Tingshan. It was obvious that he used to be free in the Wanjian Sect, so he did not respect her as the temporary leader.

“… Mr. Li.”

Wen Tingshan almost spilled the beans and was in a cold sweat. He had just heard the reason from Qu Qingning and felt a little embarrassed. After all, Xuan Jingzhou was Su Li’s uncle, but he didn’t pull his punches at the time.

“Why are you here? Go back to lie down and rest. You really do what you wish without restraint. Do you think my elixirs are free?”

Su Li reprimanded Wen Tingshan with a cold voice. Wen Tingshan smiled apologetically and stepped back. He said, “I’ll go back.”

This was the second time that he had acted without permission. It was normal for Su Li to be angry.

Su Yue stared at Wen Tingshan and then blinked, as if she saw something incredible. Just when Wen Tingshan was about to leave, she asked in surprise, “Brother… Wen?”

Wen Tingshan trembled fiercely. He turned around unbelievably. When seeing Su Yue’s face, he immediately frowned and was alert in his heart. He asked, “Who are you?”

Then, he tipped Su Li the wink to indicate that she should not let this woman out. If his identity was leaked, the Linli Building would be in deep trouble.

Su Li didn’t move. She just raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her aunt knew Wen Tingshan. What’s the story?

“You are really Brother Wen!”

Su Yue saw Wen Tingshan frown. It looked familiar. Even eight years had passed, she still recognized it at a glance. There was no doubt that he was her eldest senior fellow apprentice. She immediately covered her fat face and revealed a beautiful face, which was similar to Su Yun’s face. She said, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, I’m Su Yue!”

“Junior Sister Apprentice Su… Su Yue?”

Wen Tingshan said loudly. He took a few steps to grab Su Yue’s shoulder and said with excitement, “You are still alive. I thought you were dead outside. Luckily!”

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, it’s great to see you!”

Su Yue cried with joy. She ignored Xuan Jingzhou’s strange look and held Wen Tingshan in her arms.

The appearance of Wen Tingshan immediately eased the relationship among Su Yue, her husband and the Linli Building. Su Yue readily joined in the Linli Building. She even didn’t ask Xuan Jingzhou for his opinion.

Obviously, Su Yue strongly trusted Wen Tingshan. Since it was the force that Wen Tingshan was willing to join in, it naturally would not have any problem. However, she did not know that Wen Tingshan had had no choice and had been cajoled by Su Li.

Su Li rubbed her eyebrows and felt troublesome. Su Yue should be from the Wanjian Sect too. It seemed that there was an old reason.

It’s another old story.
